I hope that, for those of you who read ‘Do Hard Things’ this month, it was as interesting and inspiring for all of you as it was for me when I first read it.
This book presented challenges teenagers with doing 5 kinds of hard things:
1. Things that are outside your comfort zone.
“These actions can challenge us because they are unfamiliar or even scary, but they usually become some of our greatest memories.”
2. Things that go beyond what is expected or required.
“These actions are hard because they rest entirely on our own initiative.”
3. Things that are too big to accomplish alone.
“We’re passionate about these because God has placed them on our hearts.”
4. Things that don’t earn an immediate payoff.
“They’re hard because you won’t see much progress from one day to the next and because, especially at the time, it can seem like you’d be happier if your didn’t do them.”
5. Things that challenge the cultural norm.
“These choices are hard because they can cost your popularity and friendships…But the payoff is huge: if we do them, we can change the course of history.”

Instead of posting questions, I’m going to ask you all if you were convicted or encouraged by this book. If so, then in what ways?
I’m also going to direct you to this link where you can download the official study guide for free.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
